Over the years I have toyed with the possibility of going through Microsoft certification training. I don't know if that's something I still want to do or not. There are so many computer related things I want to learn. I'm dying to learn HTML (more than what I know now, which isn't much) and CSS. I would love to take Photoshop classes as well. I used to want to get my A+ certification, but again, I'm not so sure now. I think if I were to get certification, though, I would want to go for Oracle training. I know there are plenty of careers I could have if I would just take the time to get the training I need, careers I would enjoy.

I'll continue to think about these ideas. They go around and around in my head. Some day I'll be able to decide what I want to be when I grow up. Maybe.

I guess there are some people out there, who have jobs that they love. I would love to be one of those people. I spent nearly 19 years, actually hating my job. I think I would like to learn more about computers. I just have so much trouble focusing for very long.

I wish I had done the certifications while I was still working. I should have been making much more doing what I did, but I think not having my A+ cert was holding me back. Oh well.

get a short term job that offers that training for free. for example, at my job i had to learn most of that whether i use it or not, and i can always take more classes for free. it's a sweet deal. My best friend is in IT and could probably give you some ideas of what might be good marketwise.

My last job would have reimbursed me. Actually, my last FEW jobs would have reimbursed me for training. Now that I'm not working for another year or two at least, I'm taking a little time to reflect upon what I really want to do with my life. I haven't come up with any answers yet, though.

I'm tempted to lean more towards the graphic design of things, but I know Oracle could be so useful. I just don't know if I would have to go back and get a real degree to actually have someone hire me or if a cert and my current BS would work.

Who knows, though. The other two careers I've considered are chef and baker. ;)

Hehe, I want to be the next Take Home Chef. ;)

I also considered seamstress, Realtor, and interior decorator.

Yeah, I'm a little lost. ;)
